"The Criss Cross Conspiracy!" "The Knights of Tomorrow!" Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) animated film Young Justice (2011) animated series (highly recommend) Teen Titans: The Judas Contract - DCAMU (2017) - this entire series of movies sucks overall though :\ Batman Ninja (2018) anime film Batman: Death in the Family (2020) animated film Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (2021-present) webtoon - the only thing approximating fanon that I will accept |
